Set timeout for specific async request in Spring-boot

Question

I have an sync endpoint defined as follows:

@PostMapping("/some/url/")
@ResponseBody
public Future<String> something(...) {
    ... do stuff ...
}

When the returned Future is not completed after 30 seconds the request is cancelled.

How can I increase the timeout for this specific endpoint (e.g. to 100 seconds)?

I only found answers for changing it for all endpoins:

• Specify timeout for controller async method in Spring
• Spring Long Polling with DeferredResult

You can return WebAsyncTask that supports timeout.

From docs: For a Callable, you can use WebAsyncTask to provide a timeout value
